DESCRIPTION
This driver is for the Promise Supertrak SX6000 ATA hardware RAID con-
troller. It supports (in hardware) RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5 and JBOD
on up to 6 ATA disk drives, including automatic rebuild and hotswap, and
supports signalling disk status on LEDs on Promise Superswap disk enclo-
sures. The Supertrak line of controllers does not support non-disk
devices.
HARDWARE
The pst driver supports the Promise Supertrak SX6000 ATA hardware RAID
controller.
NOTES
The pst driver does not support manipulating the RAID from the OS, RAIDs
need to be set up from the onboard BIOS. However, hot swap, hot spare,
and automatic rebuilds are supported without a reboot.
HISTORY
